One of the biggest complaints over the past years has been that the running game is not very exciting. This year EA

SPORTS decided to do something about that by introducing Run to Daylight. You now have total control of every

aspect of the running game. Instead of just controlling the ball carrier, you now can take control of the fullback, tight

end, or offensive linemen. You can open and create holes for the ball carrier to run through.

While in control of the blocker, you have all sorts of blocking moves at your disposal. If you want to cut block a de-

fender down, no problem, its in the game. After you finish knocking defenders to the turf, you can switch to the ball

carrier and perform innovative rushing moves that have never been seen in a video football game before.

All-new jukes, cutbacks, and the distinct running styles of your favorite backs will help you pound the opposition

into the ground. In this section, we cover all the new Run to Daylight features so you are up to speed once you start

playing.

How many times have you seen the

CPU-controlled fullback miss his block

and leave you dead in the backfield?

You would have made the block, right?

You now have the option to take control

of any blocker to spring the running back

loose with Lead Blocking Control.

Before actually getting on the field, firstdecide which Blocking Control options

you want to use. To get to the Blocking

Control options, pause the game, then go

to Settings and choose Game Play. Next

pick Blocking Control.

There you find four options. Each setting

has a different effect on how the game

plays. Each setting can be toggled on/off.

We have listed these four settings, plus a

brief description of how they affect your

game.

Auto Switch Back(off by default). When

this setting is turned on and you are in

control of the blocker, you automatically

switch to the ball carrier if a successful

block is thrown. If the setting is turned

off, you can control the lead blocker for

as long as you like, but you must hit the

switch player button to take control of the

ball carrier.

Blocking Slowdown (off by default).

With this turned on, the game slows down

momentarily when the user-controlled

lead blocker engages a defender and

triggers a block. With this turned off, the

game speed does not change even if you

connect on a crushing block.

Switch Slowdown (on by default). With

this turned on, the game slows down

momentarily when you switch from the

lead blocker back to the ball carrier. With

this turned off you instantly switch to theball carrier with no slowdown at all.

Blocking View (Zoomed In is on by

default). With this setting on Zoom In, the

game camera is zoomed in closer to the

lead blocker (closer to a first-person view).

With it set to Normal, the game camera

is in the default camera view when lead

blocking.

Here are the Blocking Control settings we

personally prefer:

Auto Switch Back off

Blocking Slowdown off

Switch Slowdown off

Blocking View normal

We like these settings the best because

they dont interfere with the gameplay

much. If Blocking View is zoomed in, it

harder to keep an eye on the ball carrie

Sometimes we didnt see where the ba

carrier was going, because he was off

the screen.

After the ball is snapped, we control

the fullback and look to make the key

block to spring the ball carrier. The free

safety is closing in on our ball carrier,

so we decide he needs to be blocked.

We throw a block on the free safety and

he is knocked to the ground.

Once on the field, you have the option to

choose any player on the field to block

with outside of the quarterback and run-

ning back. Tap the cycle blockers button

on your controller to switch players. You

can also hold the button down and move

the Left Thumbstick or D-pad up/down or

left/right to move through players. In the

screen shot we selected the left guard.

In the second screen shot, we decide to

cycle through until we select the fullback.

At this point we can either switch to the

ball carrier or we can continue to stay

in control of the blocker by pressing

nothing. We choose to stay in control of

the blocker and throw another block on

a linebacker. This allows the CPU-con-

trolled ball carrier to find daylight outside.

Lead Blocking Control Tips

If you want to take control of the

ball carrier and pretend you are

going to block with him before the

snap, you can. As soon as the ball is

snapped, you switch from blocker to

ball carrier automatically.

If you decide to call a pass play,

you can still take control of a player

to block with before the snap. This

is a good way to bluff your opponent

into thinking run. As soon as the ball

is snapped, you are automatically

switched to the quarterback.

Taking control of pulling offensive

linemen seems to be more beneficial

than taking control of the offensive

linemen who do not pull. When we

take control of offensive linemen who

dont pull, we normally end up block-

ing the defender lined up across

from us. We might as well just let the

CPU-controlled offensive linemen do

that and instead take control of the

fullback to lead him through the hole

unless you want to Turn Block Left

or Right.

Dont get yourself out of position to

get the block. If you feel like you are

losing control of the blocker, switch

to the ball carrier and let the CPU

take control of the blocker.

On the other hand, if you see the

CPU-controlled ball carrier not going

through the correct hole, switch off

the blocker quickly and take control

of the ball carrier to get him to go

through the open hole.

You cannot switch back and forth

between the blocker and ball carrier

more than once. Once you switch to

the ball carrier, all run blocking con-

trols are turned off and run controls

are turned on.

Use the sprint button to get the

blocker out in front quicker. This

works best with a pulling offensive

linemen or fullback who is lead

blocking to the outside.

Being able to take control of the blocker is good and all, but what about being able to throw different types

blocks? There are several ways to throw blocks in Madden NFL 07while in control of the blocker.

The Truck Stick was introduced in

Madden NFL 06. This allowed the

user-controlled ball carrier to run

over defenders by moving the Right

Thumbstick up. For big, powerful

running backs such as Jamal Lewis, thiswas great because it enabled him to

knock over smaller defenders. However,

for smaller running backs such as

Warrick Dunn, the Truck Stick was not

that much of a factor. They didnt have

the strength or break tackle ratings to

effectively use it.

EA SPORTS has decided to make the

stick work for both types of backs.

Instead of the Truck Stick, its now called

the Highlight Stick.

If the running back is a big bruising type,he runs the defenders over as in Madden

NFL 06. If the running back is smaller, he

looks to work around the defender.

There are 20 different animations for

the big running backs and 20 different

animations for smaller running backs.

Chances are you will see several

different types of Highlight Stick

animations when playing Madden NFL

07. This helps to keep the running game

looking fresh.

What follows are two examples of how theHighlight Stick can be effective depending

on what type of running back is used:

Example A: Chiefs running backLarry Johnson is about to be tackled

at the line of scrimmage by the

Bengals defender. By moving the Right

Thumbstick up, Johnson lowers his

shoulders and knocks the defender outof the way. Instead of being tackled for

no gain, Johnson picks up another 4

yards before being brought down. EA

SPORTS wanted to make the game

fun when picking up even a few yards.

Thanks to the Highlight Stick, they have

succeeded.Example B: Steelers runningback Willie Parker is lightning fast

and is great at making tacklers miss

in the open the field. In the screen

shot, the Broncos defender is closingin on Parker. Last year, he would have

been tackled for a loss, but thanks to the

Highlight Stick, he can use his elusiveness

to turn a loss into positive yardage.

Some backs, such as Shaun Alex-ander and LaDainian Tomlinson can

perform both big and small running

animations. These types of backs

are most effective because they

can do all the moves to avoid being

brought down.

break tackle rating of the ball carrier, h

has a better chance to make the tackl

even if both users are pressing at the

same rate.

In the screen shots, we are in control o

Bengals running back Rudi Johnson.

The Browns defender is closing in. As

we are about to be tackled, we start

rapidly tapping the sprint button. We

break the tackle and continue down th

field.

Another new

weapon that was

added to Madden NFL 07

is the ability for the user to break

tackles. By rapidly pressing thesprint button while the ball carrier

is being tackled, you can get free of

the defender and get more yardage.

Obviously a ball carrier with a high

break tackle rating has a better chance

of busting loose than a ball carrier with

a lesser rating. Eight different types of

random animation can occur while the

ball carrier is trying to get out of the

defenders grasp.

Before you get too excited about this

feature, keep in mind that the user-con-

trolled defender has a similar ability.

By rapidly tapping down on the tackle

button, the defender can bring downthe ball carrier in a hurry.

Ratings also come into play. For ex-

ample, if the ball carriers break tackle

rating is higher than the defenders

tackle rating, then the ball carrier has a

better chance to break the tackle even

if both users are button pressing at the

same speed. Conversely, if the tackle

rating of the defender is higher than the

With Run to Daylight being the big newgameplay feature in Madden NFL 07, we

thought we would take a look at the games

top-five HB/FB combinations. We came up

with the list by looking at yardage totals

and player ratings.

When ranking the fullbacks, we did not

base them on overall rating. Instead we

looked at run blocking and awareness.

These two key attributes determine how

good a fullback is at blocking.

The top five HB/FB combinations are as

follow:

1. San DiegoChargers

Over the last three seasons Tomlinson

and Neal have been the best HB/FB

combination in the league. During that

three-year span, Neal has opened

holes for Tomlinson to the tune of 4,315

yards and 48 touchdowns. Neal is

unquestionably the best blocking full-

back in the game and Tomlinson is one

HB: LaDainian Tomlinson

FB: Lorenzo Neal

of the top three running backs. Whenyou put them together in the same

backfield, defenses have a hard time

defending the Charger rushing attack

2. SeattleSeahawks

HB: Shaun Alexander

FB: Mack Strong

You could argue that the backfield

combination of halfback Shaun Alexan

der and fullback Mack Strong is a bet

ter tandem than Tomlinson and Neal.

Offensive Trick Plays Part 1

In Super Bowl XL Pittsburgh ran a wide receiver reverse to former speedy Steelers receiver Antwaan Randle El, but he had

no intention of running the ball. Instead Randle El pulled up and threw a 43-yard touchdown strike to Hines Ward, who was

left wide open deep down the field. This trick play gave the Steelers a 21-10 and the momentum they needed to eventually

win the Super Bowl. In Madden NFL 07, there are several different types of trick plays that you can call to keep the defense

on its toes. Just dont get too carried away, after all they are not designed to be base plays. Here we take a look at three

of our favorite trick plays in the game. You will find all three of them in the Pittsburgh Steelers playbook.

One of the oldest trick plays in the book is the Flea Flicker.The quarterback hands off the ball the halfback. He then

acts as if he is going to run a HB Dive. Just as he gets to

the line of scrimmage, the halfback tosses the ball back to

the quarterback. If the safeties bite, thinking run, one or tworeceivers deep should be open for a big play. We look for

the Hines Ward running a wheel route deep down the left

sideline. Ward makes the catch for a 25 yard pick up.

I Form-Twin WR Flea Flicker

That argument has plenty of evidence

to back it up. Over the last seven

seasons, Alexander has rushed for

more than 7,817 yards and 89 touch-

downs. Strong does an excellent job at

delivering bone-crushing blocks to give

Alexander daylight to pick up yardage.

3. New YorkGiants

HB: Tiki Barber

FB: Jim Finn

Tiki Barber has been terrorizing de-

fenses since he came into the league

in 1997. However, over the last three

seasons his totals have taken a dra-

matic rise because of underrated full-

back Jim Finn. He does not get many

touches, nor is talked about as being

one of the best blocking fullbacks in

the game. With that said, Finn paved

the way for Barbers career-high 1,860yards and 5.2 yard average.

4. CincinnatiBengals

HB: Rudi Johnson

FB: Jeremi Johnson

This next HB/FB combination does

not get talked about much, but when

you look at the stats, you can see why

we rank them number four on our list.Fullback Jeremi Johnson does his

work unnoticed. If you look at Rudi

Johnsons rushing numbers over the

last three seasons, his rushing average

and rushing totals have gone up yearly.

One of the key reasons for that is that

Jeremi Johnson has been opening

plenty of holes for Rudi Johnson to rush

through.

5. BuffaloBills

HB: Willis McGahee

FB: Daimon Shelton

The Bills offense as a whole has not

been that productive lately, but the

rushing game is not to blame. Halfback

Willis McGahee and fullback Daimon

Shelton have been a strong combina-tion over the last two seasons. McGa-

hee has rushed for 2,375 yards and

18 touchdowns. A large part of that

yardage and touchdown total has been

because Shelton has been leading Mc-

Gahee through 8- and 9-man fronts.

Several new moves and animations have been added this year to improve the running game. With

all of these new moves and animations, this years Madden NFL Footballrunning game is the strongest

the series has ever seen. By throwing in the new Highlight Stick, formations, plays, and packages that can

be used, you shouldnt find it too hard to establish a solid rushing attack in 07.

Before we get to some of the different types of run plays that are in the game, we need to get you up to speed on the new

and old game controls. Jukes, stiff arms, Sprint, cover up, and dive buttons are important controls to learn if you want your

rushing attack to succeed.

If your ball carrier is having a problem coughing up the ball

whenever he is hit, learn to use the cover up button. Chances

are if the ball carrier covers up the ball, it will not be stripped

or knocked out of his hands. Another advantage of using

the cover up button is he lowers his shoulders and often

knocks defenders over. Its not as effective as the Highlight

Stick when it comes to breaking tackles, but its safer to use

because the ball carrier tends to keep the rock off the turf.

Cover Up

An old school MaddenNFL Footballrunning move is the dive.

Whenever you need to pick up that extra yard for a first down

or to get across the goal line, the dive button is the one to

use. Use when the quarterback is about to be tackled, too.

Tap the dive button, and instead of taking a vicious hit from

the defender, the quarterback slides to the ground. Or do thisif the receiver has the ball and you dont want him to get hurt.

Dive In Madden NFL 05, it seemed like every top player was us-ing the juke move to dominate the opposition online and in

the MaddenChallenge. In Madden NFL 06, the juke movewas not nearly as effective because it was toned down. In

Madden NFL 07, the juke move is back with a vengeance

because of the sheer number of animations that can be

pulled off. For example by pressing left and right quickly on

the Right Thumbstick, the ball carrier performs a devastatin

Double Move that leaves defenders grasping at air.

The back juke is back in Madden NFL 07. This juke move

was not used as much as some of the other jukes, but if you

do it at the right time, defenders will miss-time their tackle.

This especially holds true when a player is in control of the

defender and hits the hit stick or tackle button.

Another juke animation move we have seen is the ability toslash through the open holes inside. In previous versions of

Madden NFL Football, using the juke move inside tackles

did not always provide positive results. Often the ball carrie

would get stuck behind offensive linemen and could not

pick up yardage. Thanks to the ability to slash through the

line of scrimmage by pressing softly left or right on the Righ

Thumbstick, you now can slash the ball carrier between of-

fensive linemen to pick up positive yardage with ease.

Juke Move

9/13

Spin Move

Overusing the Sprint button applies to allpositions. Its just more prevalent with the

running backs, because they tend to get the

ball the most.

TIP!

The Sprint button is by far the

most-used rushing control.

Whether you are running

outside to escape defenders

or running the ball inside to get

through the hole quickly, you

can bet that Sprint is being

used. The key to using the

Sprint button is knowing the

proper time to use it. For example, if you are running some

type of counter play to the outside, dont use the Sprint but-

ton too early or you risk overlapping your pulling guard.

If you do, it defeats the whole purpose of the guard pulling

outside to be your lead blocker. Another factor to consider

when using the Sprint button is maneuverability. Whenever

the Sprint is held down, you lose some ability to move your

ball carrier. It may not seem significant, but when you are

trying to make a quick cut, that lack of maneuverability can

mean the difference between picking up a few yards or tak-

ing the rock to the house for a score.

One last consideration is fatigue. The more the Sprint button

is used, the quicker the ball carrier gets tired. If you have a

running back with a high stamina rating, this may not be a

big deal. But if your running back has a low stamina rating

and his backup is not very good, it can have a negative ef-

fect on the running games.

Sprint

The spin move has always been one of the most efficient run-

ning moves in Madden NFL Footballto pick up yardage. By

learning when to use it, you can turn what looks to be a short

gain into something that makes the evening sports newscast.

This year you can perform two different types of spin moves.

Tap down on the spin button for a quick spin move. The ball

carrier spins quickly around and often put the defender(s)

out of position to make the tackle. The drawback of using

the quick spin is if the defender is not fooled, he can make

the tackle. The power spin (press and hold the spin button)

takes the ball carrier longer to spin around, but he has a bet-

ter chance of breaking the tackle even if the defender is in

position to make the tackle. Learn when to use each type of

spin move and you will be racking up yardage with the best

of them.

The stiff arm has been in the

MaddenNFL Footballseries

for long time. For all of you

old school veterans who have

played it before the juke and

spin move were added to the

game, you know the stiff arm

was used the most outside ofthe Sprint. Ball carriers with

high break tackle ratings benefit the most from a well-timed

stiff arm. If its performed correctly, the ball carrier puts his

non-football-carrying hand out and shoves the would-be

tackler to the turf. To throw a stiff arm, press left or right on

the stiff arm buttons.

Stiff Arm

Outside of the HB Slam, the HB Blast is probably the second-

most-used running play from the I-Form-Normal in the game.

The play is designed for the halfback to follow the fullback

through the hole between the left guard and left tackle. We

like to take control of the fullback before the snap and lead

the halfback through. If any defender gets in our way, we

plow him over. In the first screen, we control the fullback,

while the CPU controls the halfback. In the second screenshot, we make a key block on the middle linebacker, which

springs the halfback through the line of scrimmage for a big

gain.

I-Form-Normal HB Blast

This play works best against player controlled defenders wh

like to cheat when we are in control of the fullback before

and after the snap. We use the fullback as a decoy to fool

the user controlled defender. If you look at the play diagram

youll notice the fullback blocks to the outside on the left sid

of the offensive line. A player may think we are running som

type of counter play and follow us out. The Titans won in

Indianapolis, 19-16. He takes himself right out of position to

make the tackle on the ball carrier because the play design

has the halfback running the ball between the center and

right guard.

Strong-Normal Split Belly

One of the biggest improvements that EA SPORTS wanted to achieve in Madden NFL 07was the ability to the run ball insidwith success. With all the new running enhancements that have been added, they have achieved that goal.

Being able pound the rock inside is a must for success in Madden NFL 07. You may not have much success with it in the earlistages of the game, but if you stick with it, by the end of the game the defense will wear down. You will start to notice your runnin

back picking up more chunks of yardage. Nothing is more satisfying in football than knowing you have the defense back on its heebecause it has no way of stopping the pound inside.

In this section, we take a look some of our favorite inside plays from the Chargers playbook.

The Singleback-Flex Base is a pretty cool formation to call

plays from. It is very flexible with its personnel sets and mo-

tion. A good inside run play from the Singleback-Flex Base

is the HB Dive. This play has the halfback looking to run

between the center and right guard without a lead blocker.

However, if we want to have a lead blocker for the halfback,we can motion the fullback to the right. He now lines up in the

backfield to be the lead blocker. Once the ball is snapped,

we look to follow the fullback through the hole. We use the

highlight stick to slide through the line of scrimmage and

find open daylight to pick up positive yardage.

Singleback-Flex Base HB DiveThere are a fair number of run plays where the fullback gets

the handoff instead of the halfback. Almost all of these plays

have the fullback running inside for tough yardage. A fullbac

running play we like from the Chargers playbook is the Split

Backs-3WR FB Blast. This play forces the defense to take a

defender out of the box to cover the slot receiver. If the de-

fense comes out in some type of 4-3 defense, the left outsidlinebacker will have to move to cover the slot. With him out

of the box, there is one less defender we have to deal with.

Another benefit of having the left outside linebacker out of

the box is that the design of the play has the fullback runnin

between the right guard and right tackle. Thats where the le

outside linebacker would line up if there wasnt a receiver in

the slot. Once the ball is snapped, look to bust through the

hole. If you can get past the defensive linemen, there will be

plenty of room to run the fullback for a nice chunk of yardag

Split Backs-3WR FB Blast

The Full House-Normal Wide HB Sweep is a highly effective

run play to call to get the halfback outside. What makes this

outside run play so successful is the blocks thrown by the

right guard and fullback. Another key block is the receiver

lined up outside on the right. He must be able to hold the

cornerback across from him for the play to have any success.

In the first screen shot, notice the receiver outside makes

the block on the left cornerback. The right guard is pulling

outside and looking to block the defender who first gets into

his area. In the second screen shot, the right guard makes a

block on a linebacker. This allows us to bust our halfback into

the open field for big pickup on the ground.

Full House-Normal Wide HB Sweep

Many of the top players at the MaddenChallenge found this

outside run play a solid bet to call when needing to pick up

yardage in clutch situations. The center crack blocks to the

right and looks to seal off the middle linebacker. The right

guard pulls to right side of the field and paves the way for our

halfback. We sometimes take control of the right guard before

the snap to make sure we get to any defender who comes in

the area of the CPU-controlled halfback. Once we make the

block, we switch to the halfback. With the receivers all acting

as if they are running pass routes deep down the field, wenormally find only one defender left to deal with. Thats when

the highlight stick comes in handy.

Singleback-Normal Slot HB Slant 18

Having a fast running back who can get to the outer perimeter quickly is the key ingredient to having a successful outside run-ning attack. It also requires some stick skill and knowledge on how to set up blocks with your blockers. If you dont have speed,stick, and knowledge, it becomes a serious challenge to establish an outside running game on the higher difficulty levels. In thissection we give you some tips and plays that will hopefully improve your perimeter run game.

During the 2006 season, misdirection plays saw a huge im-

provement in how the run blocking sets up. It seemed like ev-

ery other play was some type of misdirection run play online.

In previous years that just wasnt the case. Because offensive

linemen did not block correctly, these types of run plays were

a non-factor in most players offensive playbooks. In Madden

NFL 07, the blocking is better than ever, making misdirectionrun plays a great choice when running the ball.

The run blocking on draws and delays has been improved

over the last two seasons. The offensive line will sell the pass

to the defense and defenders will abandon their run pursuit

to come after the quarterback. Just as the defenders close in

on the quarterback, he hands the ball off to a running back

that squirts up the middle for a nice gain. In this section, we

take a look at a few of our favorite misdirection and draw

plays.

Misdirection and Draw Plays

I-Form-Twin TE FB FK HB Toss

This play could have been in the outside run section, but

we decided to stick it in the misdirection section instead.

This play has been successful the last couple of seasons,

especially against man coverage. Often the defenders

will bite on the fake to the fullback, freeing the halfback

to take a toss from the quarterback going to the oppo-

site direction. With the defenders going in the wrong

direction, there is plenty of room for the halfback to

find running room.

Offensive Trick Plays Part 2

This play has the same concept as the one the Steel-

ers ran in Super Bowl XL. This play has Steelers receiv-

ers Hines Ward and Cedrick Wilson lined up on the left

side. Ward is running a deep crossing route. Wilson is

the receiver who will be throwing the ball. Once the ball

is snapped, the quarterback hands the ball off to the

halfback, and then he pitches the ball to Wilson running

the reverse. If the safeties think run, they will come up to

pursue Wilson. This is when its time to look for Ward deep

down the field for a big play. Ward makes the catch and

goes in for six points.

I Form-Twin WR Reverse Pass

This is a pretty effective trick play provided that the re-

ceiver running the reverse has the speed to get outside

and the play is called against the right defense. The quar-

terback tosses the ball to the running back going to the

right side. Hines Ward then takes the handoff as the run-

ning back looks to run to the left side. The quarterback

and the split end will be out in front to block for Ward.

Singleback-Trips Bunch WR Reverse

Running to the outside on the weak side often works bet-ter than running to the outside on the strong side because

the defense tends to cheat to the side of the tight end. The

Weak I-Normal Toss Weak is one of the weak side run plays

we found that does a great job of picking up yardage on the

ground. When running this play, we like to take control of the

fullback and block the right outside linebacker or free safety

If the right outside linebacker is blocked, we then look to

block the free safety. This springs the halfback into the open

field where we take control of him and go in for the score.

Weak I-Normal Toss Weak

This is a good draw play to run in third down passing situa-

tions when the defense is thinking the offense is about to air

out. The quarterback drops back in the gun as if he is going

to pass, but as the defense closes in on the quarterback,

he hands off to the halfback. Dont hit the Sprint right away.

Instead allow the blocking to develop and then look for the

best hole to run through. Once the halfback gets to the line

scrimmage, hit the gas. Expect 4-6 yards if you call it agains

the right defense.

Shotgun-4WR HB Mid Draw

This counter play works best against man coverage becaus

two tight ends line up opposite the play call. The defense

usually cheats its defenders toward the two tight ends, leav

ing the backside running lanes wide open for the taking. We

like to take control of the pulling right guard before the snap

Once the ball is snapped, we use the Sprint button to get hi

quickly out in front of the running back. The receiver lined

up on the left draws his man deep down the field, leaving

only the free safety for us to deal with. We can pancake the

smaller defender, and the running back has plenty of open

field real estate ahead of him.
